to go slightly back on topic,

if this isn't a bait topic: the language used is for quick and easy contextual referencing to your character based on the sex chosen, which is translated from japanese and into two other languages, while 'they' could be used in a singular sense, ironically if you wanted a gender neutral term based on the time era of the words chosen (since they use alarum, goal and larboard which are archaic wordings ), you would be called "He" the "generic He" is a older gender neutral team, since He refers to the proper connotation of the word "man" which means "human" so if you wanted a gender neutral term ironically play as a male character then "he" would be gender neutral for the time period o3o
other examples of "generic he" can also be seen in referring to humanity as 'Mankind' or saying something is a massive step for the age of 'man' neither are masculine and are neutral to refer to the whole of humanity.

if this is a bait topic: why?
Rumor has it that @ff14forums_txt is run by a mod. I can't remember where I read that, though.
